The effect of carrier and carrier priming on the kinetics and pattern of somatic mutation in the V chi Ox1 gene.

Abstract excerpt

Priming mice with a chicken gamma globulin (CGG) carrier protein significantly accelerated the onset of somatic mutation in the V chi Ox1 gene when the mice were subsequently immunized with 2-phenyl-5-oxazolone (phOx) coupled to CGG. The first mutations were already detected 7 days after immunization, while in the true primary response, they are not apparent until day 10. It was also found that comparing the...
